Adventures in Aruba Week 3

Our son arrived to join us this week which was a nice addition. He also settled right into our easy adventures in Aruba for week 3. Nothing too exciting on the workout front this week. 

Monday-3.1 mile run + 10 min core + 2 m walk

This is probably going to be my favorite running photo of the trip. I was excited to try this exercise dress out and I loved it! Super lightweight and very comfy. Forgive my posting it one more time. Could not resist a short run on the pristine morning sand. No one else was anywhere to be seen. Afternoon walk with my son.

Tuesday-10 min core + 10 min stretch + yoga for hips + 450 meter swim

Having a little fun with my son pool side. He is pretty much a one and done for the fun photos with me. I had to make sure it was a good one. He is so supportive don’t you think?

Wednesday 10 m core + 3 mile walk

We took our son back to our favorite watch the sunset restaurant. Best views on the island.

 

Thursday- 3.2 mile run + 20 min core + 30 min yoga

 

Friday- 2 mile walk + 30 m strength + 10 m core

Saturday-30 min elliptical + core class

Our daughter arrived today to spend the last week with us all. We switched locations to a hotel and I went into a gym for the first time since who knows when. When I peeked my head in to take a look, no one was in there. I excitedly jumped right onto the elliptical for a quick sweat session.

Sunday- Stand up paddle board Yoga Class

It’s been a while but always a fun time.

Another beautiful week of Adventures in Aruba week 3. Soaking it all in before I head back to reality next week. Sending warm and sunny holiday wishes your way this week. Have a safe and healthy holiday!

    Cheers to week 3! So nice your son could join you and I bet you can’t wait to see your daughter! I could adjust to island time pretty easily! Haha!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:18 pm

      It sure does go by fast!

    Post the dress photo as many times as you want… it’s fabulous. The colors, the setting… I’m sure I’m not the only one imagining I’m sitting there with a Mai Tai in a cabana on the beach in my imagination. I’m just gonna hang out there in my mind – lol.

    And then when I thought that had to be the best photo in your post, I see the acrobat photo with your son. How creative, how did you all come up with that pose?? Even if he’s a “one a done” he was a great sport for the “one”.

    That’s the thing about these Caribbean trip photos – each one is better than the last, am I right? Looking forward to more and keep having so much fun!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:22 pm

      Aw you are so sweet! Yes I will keep them coming. The colors on the run dress photo did come out so great I love it too

    Gee, such a challenge to “Run Happy” in a beautiful location. 😀 So glad you’re having an amazing time, so well deserved. I love the dress, especially the vibrant color. Keep posting it, it looks amazing on you.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:23 pm

      You are very sweet! I am sure it’s not the last time you will see it 🙂

    So glad that your kids were able to join you in paradise this week! I love all of your photos from Aruba so please keep sharing as much as possible. It’s a frozen tundra here with a good amount of snow so I enjoy seeing photos of the sun and sand!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:26 pm

      Thanks and you got it more photos coming your way 🙂

  7. Darlene S Cardillo says

    12/20/2020 at 1:12 pm

    You look amazing in every photo. Sunshine agrees with you. Too bad you have to return. But I think your reality is better than mine- 30 in of snow.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:37 pm

      This sun does agree with me but kind of ready to come home now. Wow that is a lot of snow!

  8. Jessie says

    12/20/2020 at 1:18 pm

    Looks like a lovely vacation and glad your son could join (and was willing to participate in photo, haha!)

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:40 pm

      Yes me too on both!

  9. Beckett @ Birchwood Pie says

    12/20/2020 at 1:23 pm

    You hit the jackpot with the yoga photo with your son! Enjoy your last week.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:43 pm

      I did he was so sweet to do it with me!

  10. Melissa says

    12/20/2020 at 1:39 pm

    It seems like you’ve been there forever!! I’m still jealous. I’m so over winter and it hasn’t even started yet!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:45 pm

      It does seem like to me as well!

  11. Coco says

    12/20/2020 at 2:08 pm

    You’ve gotten so many fantastic pictures — and hopefully great memories to go with them. Love the one with your son!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:47 pm

      Yes we sure have to both! It’s been an interesting few weeks

  12. Debbie @ Deb Runs says

    12/20/2020 at 2:33 pm

    I do love that running photo of you! I’m sure it feels wonderful to finally have both of your children with you. Enjoy!

    Thanks for the linkup and have a great week!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:50 pm

      Yes it is great to have them both here!

  13. Wendy says

    12/20/2020 at 3:05 pm

    Wow, week 3? Are you ever coming home? I sure wouldn’t, lol!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:52 pm

      Well that seems to be up for debate at the moment!

  14. Chocolaterunsjudy says

    12/20/2020 at 3:47 pm

    So happy you’ve got the fam together again! Your son is a trooper. I can’t imagine my brother ever doing that for my mom, but of course she wasn’t a yogini and was very zaftig for most of her life. 🙂

    Enjoy that son while you’ve got it cause baby it’s cold back here!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 3:58 pm

      I am happy to all be together right now. Yes my son sure was a good sport!

  15. Liz Dexter says

    12/20/2020 at 4:59 pm

    How lovely to have all that sun! Even I’m craving it now and husband is seriously battling his SAD and looking up house details in / how the hell to move to nowadays Spain. Lovely that you get this opportunity and taking full advantage!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/20/2020 at 8:25 pm

      winter is always challenging but this year is off the charts challenging. I hope you find a way to get away for a short time too

      • Liz Dexter says

        12/27/2020 at 7:24 am

        There is sadly absolutely no way we can get anywhere for a good long time at the moment. Not really even to the seaside here as we’d have to take public transport. We’re concentrating on building up our Spanish so we can do OK when we finally get there again and start looking for a bolthole, but no idea when that will be. Some places still won’t even let us in!

        • Deborah Brooks says

          12/27/2020 at 8:42 am

          I know things are just crazy over there right now. Hope you were able to have a Merry Christmas despite the chaos. Thinking of you. Just think how amazing it will be when you can finally get away for a holiday

          • Liz Dexter says

            12/28/2020 at 11:42 am

            Thank you. Yes, we had a quiet one with plenty of video calls so it’s been OK.

  16. Michelle D. says

    12/20/2020 at 9:19 pm

    How wonderful to have your kids join you! It looks like it has been a lovely trip. Keep enjoying that sunshine 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/21/2020 at 3:11 pm

      Yes it’s great to have them here!

  17. Zenaida Arroyo says

    12/20/2020 at 9:27 pm

    Glad you are enjoying your time in Aruba!! I do love the dress and the color too. Are you ever coming back? I wouldn’t! 🙂

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/21/2020 at 3:14 pm

      Thanks and well not sure! I guess eventually 🙂

  18. Shathiso says

    12/21/2020 at 6:29 am

    The shot with you and your son is EPIC! I love it! So glad you’ve had an amazing time – well deserved after a difficult year. Glad your children could join you too.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/21/2020 at 3:14 pm

      We really have thanks!

  19. Jenn says

    12/21/2020 at 12:12 pm

    I love all of this so much! It’s got to be so nice to be enjoying all that family time and island air. I think one year, we will get out of dodge for Christmas. It would be nice to get some time away. Enjoy!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/21/2020 at 3:15 pm

      It is one of our family traditions that we love. Now that the kids are older, it’s nice to all be together here
